How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Back to the Future.
Quote #1
Strickland: Why even bother, McFly? You haven't got a chance. You're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley.
Nothing like a little quality encouragement from an educator, eh? But right away we get a little insight into the McFly family condition: a history of failure. Ouch. At least Marty doesn't have to worry about the bar being set very high.
Quote #2
Lorraine: I think it's terrible. Girls chasing boys. When I was your age I never chased a boy, or called a boy, or sat in a parked car with a boy.
Lies! In 1955, when Marty asks Lorraine if she wouldn't mind parking for a sec, she tells him that it's not like she's never parked before. So clearly she's got some skeletons she'd rather keep in the closet. Or else she's forgotten they're in there.
Quote #3
Marty: He's a peeping tom.
Speaking of skeletons… your sordid past as a peeping tom is probably one of the ones you'd want to keep hidden from your offspring. Not even Lorraine ever knew that's what George was doing out there in the middle of the street. But don't we all have our little secrets?
